New Murals at Creature Comforts, Flowerland and St. Mary's - Flagpole Magazine

Tuesday, August 30, 2016

The design itself is inspired by the promise and the feel of Athens when I moved here 14 years ago from Chicago: the houses on Boulevard and Buena Vista, the visual impact of all the green trees, the year-round Christmas lights and, of course, the legacy of Athens music,” says Wislar, who was exposed to many Athenian bands while growing up in the Midwest. “I think Athens still radiates the effects of an era when it was a small town experiencing a unique confluence of people whose expression spoke to the times. It grew musicians who were heard everywhere. I hope the art speaks to that resonance.”Wislar, who taught art at Cedar Shoals High School for five years after earning a master’s in art education, now teaches graphic design at Discovery High in Gwinnett County. An additional mural of his appears inside of Cedar Shoals’ gym, depicting the school’s mascot, a jaguar. LEAD Athens will host a ribbon cutting ceremony for the mural at Creature Comforts on Monday, Aug. 29 at 5 p.m. Jamie Calkin's in-progress painting at FlowerlandFLOWERLAND: The stylistic watercolor scenes of Jamie Calkin are immediately identifiable by their bold, translucent color palette outlined in loose black strokes, as well as the familiarity of their Athens-centric subjects. Typically depicting building fronts of local landmarks like the 40 Watt, Morton Theatre and the Globe—with the occasional full landscape of a busy downtown or packed-out football stadium—Calkin’s images make popular items in gift shops as well as exhibition spaces. In addition to an in-progress mural in Athens Regional Medical Center’s cafeteria courtyard, Calkin’s latest mural is currently underway on the minty green exterior of Flowerland, the family-owned and operated business that celebrates its 47th anniversary this month. As co-owners of a neighborhood institution, it’s no surprise that sisters Jan Hudgins and Deborah Fuller sought an artist who could incorporate various other Athens hotspots into the mural. The two were well familiar with Calkin’s distinctive scenes, which appear in the form of prints and greeting cards inside the shop.The Milledge Avenue side of the building will focus primarily on depicting downtown and UGA landmarks, while the Prince Avenue side will include places like Chase Street Elementary, the Chase Park water tower, White Tiger, Athens Regional and multiple Normaltown businesses. Of course, a florist’s mural wouldn’t be complete without an array of colorful flowers. Gerber daisies and black-eyed Susans, requests of Hudgins and Fuller, grow prominently alongside favorites of the Calkin family: sunflowers for Jamie, tulips for his wife Katie and violets and daffodils for their two daughters. Calkin even plans to include a few baby possums and squirrels, which Hudgins rehabilitates. While Calkin has painted other murals, such as the massive scene inside UGA’s Tate Student Center, painting at Flowerland has unique challenges. Whereas previous large works have been completed flat on panels and then installed, painting on a vertical surface is more difficult, especially while experimenting with the transparency of watercolors and inks that are prone to dripping. Flowerland’s mural will be completed over the next several weeks with the assistance of Nicolette Kubea. St. Mary's Episcopal ChapelST.

Hudon shares a gift for natural beauty - Chaffee County Times

Tuesday, August 23, 2016

Fraser Fruit and Flower business.“It was a very successful business for 8 years with cut flowers and fruit, and it’s where I began my work with weddings.”She sold the business and they moved to Buena Vista in 2004. She began her Rancho Verde Flowers business in 2005 on a part-time basis, but in the past 3 years the work demand has become full time. She gardens on 11 acres in Nathrop and farms one-half of an acre.She sells her produce, which includes kale, chard and basil to Trout Creek Farms, which in turns sells them in Farmer’s Markets in Vail. She also buys flowers from them, and from Weathervane Farms, to include in her arrangements.“In order for flowers to keep blooming, you have to keep cutting them,” she says. “So I use all the little flowers that are too small for large arrangements, in small arrangements in little cans and sell them to Little Market on Main and The Lettucehead.”Hudon’s philosophy stems from an organic sensibility, she says.“I believe in growing pesticide-free flowers, sustainable farming, making my own compost, supporting local farmers and going above and beyond what is expected. I arrange flowers to showcase their natural beauty.”Hudon says, “I so much appreciate the support and business from the community. I can’t say enough about this community. Most of my business comes from referrals and word-of-mouth.”Hudon makes arrangements for 40-45 weddings or memorials each year.“It’s amazing. We have become such a destination location for weddings. Mount Princeton (resort), the SteamPlant, South Main and smaller venues locally. I’ve even had requests from couples from Sweden and Japan recently.”Hudon’s work has been featured in Eco Beautiful Brides, The Knot, Style Me Pretty, Lux Mountain Weddings and Borrowed and Blue.She says that she loves the smells, colors and the beauty of flowers, and “being able to watch someone pick up a bouquet and smile … that gives me such a great appreciation for this work. I’m just the deliverer to make someone’s day more special.”... http://www.chaffeecountytimes.com/community/neighbors/hudon-shares-a-gift-for-natural-beauty/article_f60e927c-64c7-11e6-93de-13a04eab3206.html
